It's amazing how insightful these reviewers are. In the theatre ghost review the writer says about the character Tim, "We must see (without being told) how his faith has sustained him, yet failed to equip him."

Sustained, yet failed to equip. There is a whole thread's worth of stuff to discuss in that one sentence.

And this piece of dialogue from the play:

“We grow up, we go to a college where there’s a church life, live in Corporate Living, graduate with a degree that’s Church approved and then march our way to the Full-Time Training.”

I'm trying to detect where Shao has made a caricature of the LC. But it sounds like he's portrayed it almost verbatim. That has to be shocking to LC observers. This is unprecedented.
